Football season has returned. Fans across our state are gathering to cheer on the Patriots every single week. But what if you could not view these games? If Congress does not reauthorize the Satellite Act (STELAR) in 2019, that could become the reality for some of our customers next season.

STELAR ensures that more than 870,000 customers across the country, mostly in rural areas, do not lose access to network programming. It also ensures that broadcasters must deal in good faith with pay TV providers like us so that we may deliver to our customers network programming options at a fair price.

At AT&T, we are committed to Connecticut and our hundreds of thousands of DIRECTV customers here. We hope you will join us in protecting TV watchers across the state by encouraging our members of Congress to reauthorize STELAR this year.
